Saint Genevieve of Paris
Saint Genevieve was a fair and courageous peasant girl born around 422 in what is today France. At age 7, her bishop, St. Germanus, consecrated her to God as a virgin. She dedicated her life to prayer and penance, and at 15, she sought to become a nun. In 451, she convinced Parisians to stay and pray during Attila the Hun’s invasion, and her intercession was answered. She died at 89 on January 3, 512. Her relics were enshrined around 630, and her most famous miracle was the healing of a plague in 1129. She is the patron saint of Paris, and her feast day is January 3.
